This page explains standardised vote calculation, the mathematics and logic used, and its possible applications.

Standardised vote calculation is a mathemetical method for calculating variations of majority consensus. The method is essentially dividing into two categories: count and WSRc. All values are rounded to the first decimal place below zero.

Values

Count

Total	$support+\;oppose+\;neutral$
Individual value	$100\left({\frac {votetype}{support+\;oppose+\;neutral}}\right)\Rightarrow \;round1$

The count values measure the number of each vote type in percentage ratio to the total.

WSRc

WSRc	${\frac {{\frac {100\left({\frac {support}{support+\;oppose}}\right)}{1\ {\mbox{or}}\ oppose}}\times 1.75(support)}{500}}\times \left(support-1.3(oppose)\right)\Rightarrow \;round1$

The weighted support ratio constant (WSRc) estimates the relative strength of consensus by counting and weighing the counted values. Practically speaking, the constant is a number that increases for discussions with a high number of votes and a high support ratio. This constant is used to compare multiple discussions to gauge the relative strength of consensus; for example, this may be used to select featured texts.

The template takes three parameters, as shown above, with numerical values.

Examples

High opposition (low participation)

Votes (7):	1 support (14.3%), 3 oppose (42.9%), 3 neutral (42.9%).
WSRc:	-0 (about SVC)

No clear consensus (low participation)

Votes (18):	10 support (55.6%), 8 oppose (44.4%), 0 neutral (0%).
WSRc:	2.1 (about SVC)

Borderline (high participation)

Votes (100):	75 support (75%), 25 oppose (25%), 0 neutral (0%).
WSRc:	58 (about SVC)

High support (low participation)

Votes (11):	10 support (90.9%), 1 oppose (9.1%), 0 neutral (0%).
WSRc:	27.7 (about SVC)

High support (high participation)

Votes (110):	100 support (90.9%), 10 oppose (9.1%), 0 neutral (0%).
WSRc:	314 (about SVC)
